Cravens’ attorney claims self-defense Calls prosecution a ‘runaway train’ He [Kauanui] went BY NEAL PUTNAM | VILLAGE NEWS
Seth Cravens’ attorney told a jury in his murder trial Monday that he acted in selfdefense when he punched professional surfer Emery Kauanui Jr., and it was the fall to the pavement that cracked Kauanui’s skull that caused his death in front of his mother’s home in La Jolla. Attorney Mary Ellen Attridge has always claimed the actual offense should be involuntary manslaughter, a lesser offense that three others involved in the confrontation had pleaded guilty to involving the May 2007 death in La Jolla. But Attridge went farther than that by saying it “was not a homicide” and indirectly suggesting she would seek an acquittal.

“It is undisputed that this tragedy was unnecessary, senseless … it was not a murder. It was a case of selfdefense,” Attridge said. “This case is not a prosecution but a runaway train, because Mr. Cravens is not guilty.” “It began at a bar where Emery Kauanui was drinking heavily,” said Attridge, who stated that Kauanui’s blood/alcohol level was .17 percent at the hospital, which is SEE CRAVENS, Page 7

The 14th annual San Diego Jewish Book Fair will kick off Friday, Oct. 31, and then resumes Nov. 6 through 13 at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center, Jacobs Family Campus. “The biggest night will be when Christopher Hitchens and Rabbi David Wolpe are hashing it out,” said Dan Shapiro, director of marketing for the San Diego Center for Jewish Culture. “Hitchens, a well-known atheist, is known to be abrasive, and Wolpe’s written a lot of books, so it’s an interesting [match]. It’s a face-off of sorts.” This year’s biggest draw, Shapiro says, will occur during the fair’s final night, when Wolpe – author of “Why Faith Matters” – encounters journalist Hitchens – author of “God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything.” The two will express their views, which are at polar opposites of the religious spectrum. “I don’t know if we’ve ever had a well-known atheist,” Shapiro
Prop C considers Mission Bay Park revenue BY SHANNON MULHALL | VILLAGE NEWS

How much of the revenue generated by Mission Bay Park should stay in the park and how much should go to the city? San Diegans will decide on Nov. 4 when they cast their vote for Proposition C. Proponents say the measure is necessary to complete the popular recreational area and uphold the original agreement between the city and San Diegans. Critics call the initiative a money grab that could undermine the city’s fiscal stability and hamstring park development. “The city has raided Mission Bay Park funds for far too long,” Councilman Kevin Faulconer said. “I saw that firsthand as chairman of the Mission Bay Park Committee.” The advisory board has struggled for years to fund the estimated $400 million in capital improvements called for in the Mission Bay Park Master Plan, a
blueprint for park development that City Council and the coastal commission approved in 1994. Currently, approximately 90 cents of every dollar generated by SeaWorld and other Mission Bay leaseholds goes to the city. If the proposed 30-year charter amendment passes, starting in July, $23 million of the roughly $28 million in lease revenues would continue to go to the city’s general fund. The remaining revenue – an estimated $5 million to $12 million annually – would go toward completing bicycle and pedestrian
trails, expanding wetlands, shoreline maintenance and other projects in the 4,235-acre park. An additional 25 percent of funds would go to Balboa and other regional parks, which could net $2 million to $4 million every year. After five years, the city’s cut of Mission Bay Park’s lease revenue would decrease from $23 million to $20 million. The reallocation of revenues is necessary to improve and maintain Mission Bay Park, Faulconer says. “The park has been neglected for too long. We must change that. It’s too important to citizens throughout San Diego.” Faulconer and Councilwoman Donna Frye were instrumental in getting Proposition C on the ballot. Mayor Jerry Sanders and the Sierra Club also support the measure. Frye has called the current fiscal arrangement between the city SEE PROP C, Page 5

BY NEAL PUTNAM | VILLAGE NEWS
Rodney Wadkins, owner of a San Diego-based business that gives guided kayak tours operating out of La Jolla Shores, said he became fed up with his part in a real-life David-Goliath drama. So Wadkins filed a RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) action lawsuit in federal court against San Diego City Council President and District 1 Councilman Scott Peters and Mayor Jerry Sanders. “The mayor and Scott Peters colluded to extract illegal fees from the kayak companies. The city doesn’t own that land,” Wadkins said. According to Wadkins, the state owns the tidelands around La Jolla Shores, including a launch ramp kayak operators use at the foot of Avenida de la Playa. Wadkins said the issue of whether the city or the state owns the area was “laid to rest over 150 years ago,” leaving the beaches within the public trust. “We’re asking for the city to stipulate that they don’t own the land but that the state owns the land. That way, they can’t charge a dime to use that launch ramp,” Wadkins said. One year ago, the city increased permit fees from $500 a year to $500 a month to use the launch ramp located near Avenida de la Playa at La Jolla Shores, Wadkins said. Recently, the kayak trade began to skyrocket, so operators located on Avenida de la Playa

approached the city, asking for more regulations to cut down on kayak traffic. The regulations – called a Request For Proposal (RFP) – would exclude smaller kayak operators, Wadkins said. “The city’s like the mafia,” Wadkins said. “It [approaches] businesses and then says, ‘OK, if you want to do business, we take 8 percent of your gross to use the launch ramp.’” Wadkins operates San Diego SCUBA, which he says only offers guided tours around La Jolla Shores. According to Wadkins, many kayak businesses rent kayaks to tourists, who may not fully understand the rules and regulations. Kayak shops operating from Avenida de la Playa said they came together, asking for the RFP to get a cohesive set of safety standards. With an increasing number of kayaks launching into La Jolla’s waters, the number of accidents also climbed. “The purpose of the RFP is not public safety — the purpose is to eliminate competition and to pay

off the city,” Wadkins said. Lifeguards said their issues are separate from those of other kayak owners and the city. Thousands of people swim and kayak in La Jolla’s waters every year, and safety is their concern. “There have been kayak rentals going on a long time for many years, and what has changed is a massive increase in the number of kayak rentals,” said Rick Wurts, San Diego Lifeguard Service Marine Safety captain. “It has changed the dynamics of the boat launch, the safety of the boat launch and the safety in the water.” Wadkins said he respects the lifeguards, but Wurts and Wadkins recently exchanged letters regarding safety concerns stemming from kayak operators launching craft from areas other than the ramp, which resulted, Wadkins said, in the city posting signs prohibiting kayak launching except at the La Jolla Shores ramp. “It is a public boat-launch
issue,” Wurts said. “The boat launch is the only place where a person can launch from the coastline.” Wadkins agreed with Wurts that the launch ramp is the safest place for kayak operators to enter the water for kayak operators. Wadkins said the city is shutting down the access point between La Jolla’s Marine Room and the reservation house. But that also leaves Wadkins and other businesses vulnerable to the city’s fees. “If this isn’t gangster tactics, I don’t know what is,” Wadkins said. “When I started my business, I don’t remember asking the city to be my partner.” Wadkins said his next hearing Dec. 1 will determine whether the city or state owns the ramp. Michelle Ganon, communications director for Peters, said the councilman has referred the case to the city attorney. The city attorney advised Peters that all the steps he has taken have been legal, Ganon said. ■
The ordinance that would regulate parking of oversize vehicles was delayed indefinitely Tuesday after members of the San Diego City Council said the $2 million enforcement costs were too high and they wanted to go over the figures again. Council President Scott Peters and Councilman Jim Madaffer both expressed disappointment that they will not get to vote on it before their terms expire in December. The proposed ordinance was returned to the mayor’s office with no vote and without an estimated date on when it would be heard. Peters said he worked on this ordinance for five years. Madaffer called it “a travesty” and said he would have voted against the ordinance if it had been heard Tuesday because of the high cost. Councilman Kevin Faulconer said the ordinance needs more work and it needs to be cost-effective. He questioned whether the $2 million estimate was accurate. Councilman Tony Young said he would not call the delay “a travesty” but it was an issue that had great impact on people. Peters, Madaffer, Brian Maienschein and Toni Atkins are leaving the council due to term limits, and whoever succeeds them in a new City Council will decide the issue.

Attorney wins stay for seals at Pool BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS
In anticipation of San Diego Superior Court Judge Yuri Hofmann confirming his latest tentative ruling asking the city to disperse La Jolla’s harbor seal colony, Judge William Q. Hayes signed a restraining order Wednesday, Oct. 22, temporarily protecting the rookery. Bryan Pease, attorney for Animal Rescue and Protection League’s Sealwatch, said he sought the order of protection for a colony of harbor seals at La Jolla’s Children’s Pool. Hofmann heard an argument to disperse the seals from Paul Kennerson, attorney for swimmer Valerie O’ Sullivan, who first sued the city for allowing the marine mammals to interfere with citizens swimming and diving — a lawsuit Kennerson won by arguing that the seal colony hindered the pur-

Ask Aubrey is the terrible Q. When decline in the stock market going to end?
A.
Only the crystal ball knows for sure…the real answer is no one can be
certain until afterwards. I frequently remind my radio listeners that during the last 82 years (1926 to 2008), we have witnessed 15 recessions (16 counting this one). Each recession is actually a change in the business cycle and, while it’s difficult to admit, is normal. One good thing about recessions is they eventually end and start the next growth cycle much as springtime follows winter. Generally the stock markets lead the economy both into and out of hard times. Since 1960 the average bear market lasted for 14 months (www.NedDavisResearch.com). Currently we are 12 months into this cycle, so given history as a guide; we may continue to see weak stock markets into 2009. However there may be sunnier skies ahead. Warren Buffet recently wrote in a New York Times opinion article that although he has no idea where the stock markets will go in the short term, long term he is buying America on sale. His simple rule on buying stocks “Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful.”
These are selected questions Aubrey receives each Saturday on the radio.

pose of the Children’s Pool 1931 Ellen Browning Scripps trust. But San Diego City Attorney Michael Aguirre argued that the original ruling — decided by Judge William Pate — said nothing about dispersing seals. Hoffman ruled under submission Oct. 21, saying that he would most likely order the city to disperse the seals within the next few days, said Deputy San Diego City Attorney George Schaefer. So Pease went before Hayes to preempt Hoffman’s likely ruling, asking for an order of protection for the seals. The federal Marine Mammal Protection Act preempts enforcement of state law, Pease said. La Jolla’s harbor seal colony is protected under the federal MMPA. Hayes, a U.S. Federal District Court Judge, issued the temporary protective order through Nov. 25, according to Aguirre. Meanwhile, the order prevents “harassing or dispersing the colony of harbor seals at Children’s Pool Beach in La Jolla, California,” Aguirre’s office wrote in a press release. “The order gives the city additional time and avoids what could have been a chaotic situation, if the seals were required to be removed by the city as they approach pupping season,” Aguirre said. — Please see related story in last week’s paper, “Judge leans to dispersement of seals” (page 5) or find it at www.sdnews.com. ■

and the park “a broken promise.” San Diegans originally voted to allow commercial development in 25 percent of Mission Bay Park so that resulting revenues could pay for dredging and completing the manmade aquatic playground. A City Council action in 1968 redirected the monies into the general fund for emergency and basic services. City Council voted in 2004 to return a portion of revenue to the park. Under the Mission Bay Ordinance, both the Mission Bay Improvement Fund and the Regional Park Fund receive 25 percent of the park’s lease revenues exceeding $20 million, not to exceed $2.5 million in a fiscal year. City Council can and usually does, however, vote to waive the ordinance. “That’s like letting the fox guard the henhouse,” said Bob Ottilie, a former Mission Bay Park Committee (MBPC) member and one of Prop C’s architects. “In my view, we’re simply taking back revenue that was intended for Mission Bay Park in the first place,” said Judy Swink, a longtime member of the MBPC and park supporter. “To say we’re taking money from the city is a misstatement at minimum.” Swink also acts as chair of the parks and open space committee for Citizens Coordinate for Century 3 (C3), a nonpartisan, nonprofit local and regional planning organization that opposes Proposition C. Though Swink believes that Mission Bay Park needs a guaranteed revenue source, she does not believe Prop C is the answer. Mission Beach should not be included in the measure, she said, and the prioritization of projects could limit park development. Her concerns are shared by Council President Scott Peters and councilmen Ben Hueso and Jim Madaffer, who voted against putting Prop C on the ballot.
Faulconer disagreed: “I think it’s important that we tell voters where their money will be spent.” Prop C identifies seven priorities: restoration of navigable waterways, wetland expansion and water quality improvements, shoreline treatments, expanding preserves for endangered and threatened species, completing trails and bridges for bicyclists and pedestrians, restoring the seawall bulkhead on Ocean Front Walk, and deferred maintenance and capital improvement projects. The projects are to be completed in a specific sequence determined by the MBPC and approved by City Council. Under the proposition, the council could move up or down to the next priority on the list if a grant or other funding became available. The provision would not provide enough flexibility, Swink sais. “I have no problem with any of the projects. My problem is with the prioritization of the projects.” Under the proposition, she says, if one priority needed more money, another could get put on hold and languish, pending the completion of other projects. The sequence could slow completion of Fiesta Island and South Shores, two areas the California Coastal Commission identified in 2002 as high priorities, Swink said. Other critics of the proposal have called it fiscally reckless, saying it siphons money from valuable city services and redirects it toward frivolous projects. Faulconer, chair of City Council’s audit committee and vice-chair of the budget committee, dismisses such claims. Citing Sanders’ support of Proposition C, he called the measure “an important fiscal reform.” “Mission Bay Park belongs to everyone,” Faulconer says. “It’s our crown aquatic jewel.” Swink says, “I’ve felt myself caught between two sides all along.” Now it is up to voters to choose. ■
NEWSbriefs Mount Soledad fire thought to be arson Three Mount Soledad residents awoke early Sunday morning to flames inside a two-story home adjacent to Kate Sessions Park, causing rescuers to rush one person to the hospital and leaving the others seeking another residence, said San Diego Fire Rescue Department officials. At about 2:30 a.m. Oct. 26, officials at SDFRD sent four engines, one truck and two battalion chiefs to battle the fire engulfing a two-story home at 2181 Harbour Heights Road, said an SDFRD dispatcher. “And about 11 minutes later, one battalion chief required another engine and another truck,” the dispatcher said. The Mount Soledad fire caused about $800,000 damage to the structure and about $75,000 in property loss, the dispatcher said. Although fire investigators are searching for exactly what caused the blaze, according to the dispatcher, the official cause was listed as “incendiary.”

At about 6:30 a.m. Oct. 23, more than 1,700 San Diego Gas & Electric customers lost power in La Jolla Shores and Soledad Mountain, causing traffic congestion when lights along Torrey Pines Road and La Jolla Shores Drive blacked out, police said. This blackout occurred on the heels of a previous power outage the week before, which left about 1,600 La Jolla Shores customers powerless. At 8:45 a.m. Oct. 17, approximately 1,600 La Jolla Shores customers lost power, said SDG&E spokeswoman Sabra Moallem. “That was just a fault in a piece of underground equipment,” Moallem said. About 60 percent of the power company’s customers’ power was restored within the hour, Moallem said. The last of the SDG&E customers’ power was restored by 2:48 p.m. that afternoon, she said. The blackout one week later was caused when a rat got into underground cable lines right outside the La Jolla Shores area. Power was lost for 90 minutes during Thursday morning’s commute, Moallem said. “Everyone was restored at 7:18. Within an hour, everyone was back online,” Moallem said.

Hillel slated for hearing next week Next Thursday, Nov. 6, the San Diego Planning Commission will hold a public hearing to consider an application for a site development permit, easement acquisition and public right-of-way vacation for the Hillel of San Diego Student Center. The center is proposed for the triangular-shaped parcel at La Jolla Scenic Drive North, between Torrey Pines Road and La Jolla Scenic Way. Hillel is asking to continue the use of an exisiting single-family home and garage for religious offices as part of Phase I of the project. Phase II will include a religious student center main floor over a subterranean parking garage that would accommodate 68 vehicles. The Planning Comission will recommend approval, conditional approval or denial to the City Council. The hearing begins at 9 a.m. in the council chambers, 202 C St., 12th floor.

As written so far, the ordinance would have barred parking of oversize, non-motorized and recreational vehicles on public streets between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. or within 50 feet of any intersection. A significant cost is enforcement, as parking officers do not work after 7 p.m. or on Sundays. The proposed ordinance also allowed for vehicle owners to procure 24 permits per year per address, but the cost of those permits will be determined by the City Council. The permits would last for 72 hours. Exceptions to the ordinance included buses, vehicles making deliveries or pickups, government or public utility vehicles and vehicles displaying placards or plates issued to disabled persons. ■

CRAVENS CONTINUED FROM Page 1
twice the legal limit, though he was not driving. Both the prosecutor and Attridge acknowledged that Kauanui had been drinking at the Brew House and that his girlfriend, Jennifer Grosso, drove him home after Kauanui spilled a drink on Eric House, 21. House played a key role in the May 24 incident, as he, Cravens, 22, and three others drove over to Kauanui’s mother’s house, where he was beaten. He died four days later. Attridge did not mention whether Cravens had been drinking that night as well. When San Diego Superior Court Judge John Einhorn sentenced House and three others to varying jail terms on probation, he said the slaying was “fueled by alcohol” use on the part of the defendants. “This is a case about power, intimidation ... disregard for other human beings,” said Deputy District Attorney Sophia Roach as she started her opening statement. Roach quoted the victim’s girlfriend, who said she overheard Cravens’ plot for revenge because of the spilled beer upon House. “Let’s go (expletive) him up. I know where he lives,” said Roach, quoting Cravens as testified to by Grosso. Grosso told the nine-man, three-woman jury and four alternates that the drink-spilling incident “was totally accidental.” She said she drove Kauanui home in his car and then left to get her car, which was still parked near the Brew House.

She said she sensed trouble, and returned to Kauanui’s house, where she saw he was being beaten, around 1:30 a.m. Grosso said she screamed out Cravens’ name, yelling to him to stop. “I saw Emery on the ground with Eric on top of him,” said Grosso, who added she kicked House in the head to get him to stop. She said she screamed out the names of others in hopes

neighbors could hear her. Grosso testified she saw Kauanui stand back up, but not for long. “I saw Seth approach him and gave him an extremely hard punch. It was like the lights went out in Emery,” Grosso said. “I heard his skull crack when it hit the pavement. There was a pool of blood … I thought he was dead right there. I started screaming, ‘Why would you do it?’” Grosso said Kauanui regained consciousness briefly in the ambulance, and she slept on the floor in his hospital room for four nights until he died on May 28. She said they had dated for more than five years. On Tuesday, neighbors who

heard the screams and saw the fight testified. “There were four guys beating on someone,” said neighbor Philip Baltazar, who identified Cravens as the man who “coldcocked” Kauanui. “He (Kauanui) went down. You could hear the skull hitting the ground,” testified Baltazar. Baltazar said he recalled Grosso screaming and kicking the other men to try and get them away from Kauanui. Another neighbor, Thomas Corona, testified. “I heard stomping, hitting. Then I heard Jenny saying, ‘Seth, get off him! Seth, please, get off him!’” Corona testified he ran down to see what he could do. “I saw Emery laying there on the corner with his head cracked open,” Corona said. Cravens is also on trial for numerous assaults on other people in which he allegedly crashed their parties and for an incident at Windansea Beach. House, Orlando Osuna, 23, and Matthew Yanke, 22, all pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter. Henri “Hank” Hendricks, 22, pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact. On Sept. 5, Osuna was sentenced to 349 days in jail and House and Yanke each got 210 days in jail. Hendricks received 90 days in jail. All four men were placed on three years’ probation with the restriction they cannot drink alcohol, even in their own homes, for three years. Each was fined approximately $1,000. All five men are graduates of La Jolla High School and lived in La Jolla when the crime occurred. Cravens remains in the downtown central jail on $1.5 million bail. ■

GUEST EDITORIAL
It’s past time to care for Mission Bay Park BY KEVIN FAULCONER
roposition C — saving Mission Bay Park — is about the preservation of one of the most well-known and cherished landmarks in San Diego, and it’s about continuing needed reform in San Diego; it’s about truth in budgeting; it’s about ending the procrastination of fixing this park to maintain its safety and preserve its wildlife, and it’s about being open with the taxpayers. Prop C is consistent with the intended use of the revenues from the commercial leases at Mission Bay Park. Since the creation of the park, there has been a call from reformers that Mission Bay be a self-sustaining park. Even in 1955, there were discussions over commercial leases in Mission Bay Park and the president of the San Diego Taxpayers Association argued that the park had to be selfsustaining and not become a burden to taxpayers. The city has failed to use the revenues the park generates as a reliable funding source to protect the park and taxpayers. I have heard about the imminent crisis in Mission Bay Park from advocates of the park and I know about the conditions firsthand. Before being elected to City Council, I was the chair of the Mission Bay Park Committee and was on the Park and Recreation Board. Every day I worked on finding ways to make these major repairs to improve the public safety at the park for San Diegans and visitors, and to help preserve the park’s wildlife and ecosystem. I have worked alongside environmental advocates, businesses and community leaders for years against the decisions of past councils that continually took money from Mission Bay Park to pay for non-emergency projects. Prop C will ensure that the revenue that was originally intended to keep the park safe and make the park self-sufficient is used for the park. It will stop the temptation of future councils to use park revenue for pet projects or other nonemergency programs. This is also why Prop C is supported by Mayor Jerry Sanders. Mayor Sanders has
P
LA JOLLA
been singularly focused on reforming City Hall and creating a fiscally responsible and accountable government, and I have worked him on these goals as chair of the city’s Audit Committee and as vice chair of its Budget Committee. Prop C will end the siphoning of dollars designated for serious and major park repairs and instill openness, accountability and fiscal responsibility. Some say the council already has the authority to keep the revenues at Mission Bay Park. They ask why tie the hands of the City Council? Well, let’s look at the history of the city. Nearly 15 years ago, the 1994 Mission Bay master plan update identified major improvement projects totaling $171 million. Did the city then resist temptation and fund these projects? It did not. Then, six years later, a scathing 2000 Grand Jury report revealed that the city had allocated $3 million out of the $171 million recommended for improvements. The report indicated that to complete the projects, it would take 20 years but only if lease revenues generated stayed in the park. Did this scathing report spur the city into spending these funds on needed park improvements? No, this did not happen. Then the City Council passed a 2002 ordinance that would have kept 25 percent of the lease revenues generated over $20 million in Mission Bay Park. Yet again, it waived off the law until Mayor Sanders was elected to office. Just think, almost all of the repairs would have been done if the city had kept its commitment and made the $171 million of improvements. But instead, the cost has nearly doubled at a huge cost to taxpayers. Prop C will end the mismanagement of Mission Bay and will help restore more fiscal responsibility and accountability. — Kevin Faulconer represents District 2 of the San Diego City Council, which includes downtown San Diego, Ocean Beach, Point Loma, Mission Beach, Pacific Beach and a small sliver of La Jolla. ■

Fiscally responsible school board candidates Hello to you all. I am not on the ballot this time, but I have to comment or some of the statements made in the San Diego City School board race. SDEA has endorsed candidates because they believe them to be “Fiscally Responsible.” I have some trouble with that statement. At the present time, the State of California has a very tentative budget based on faulty projections for income. Every state financial expert agrees. The word is that when the income comes in short, as I am sure it will under the present economic conditions, the governor and the state legislature will have to make mid-year cuts, and the January budget for Fiscal Year 200910 will be very much reduced. Anyone anticipating the state budget shortfall that proposes spending anyway just can’t be defined as “Fiscally Responsible”! That is why I cannot support SDEA’s recommendations. I am not able to agree that [John Lee] Evans and [Shelia] Jackson are actually “Fiscally Responsible”! Mitz Lee fully understands the situation, and she freely voted to restore all laid off permanent teachers as well as placing many probationary teachers back in small classes in school that have performance difficulties. She deserves all of our support. I think those who are really fiscally responsible and those who oppose spending down our funds beyond actual income deserve

Lifeguard chief supports Prop D BY KEN HEWITT
n Labor Day 2007, San Diego lifeguards and police officers were called on to control a mob of several hundred people — most of whom were intoxicated — that had gathered at the foot of Reed Street in Pacific Beach. It wasn’t the first time San Diego lifeguards had been called on to deal with intoxicated beachgoers, just the most publicized. In fact, as one of the last beach areas in the region that still allowed alcohol on the beach at the time, more and more of our resources were being committed to alcohol-related enforcement activities on a daily basis. Underage drinking, binge drinking, fights, verbal harassment and other alcohol-related misconduct were widespread on our beaches. And every incident of drunk and disorderly conduct we were involved with took lifeguards away from our more traditional water-safety responsibilities. In January, a trial ban on beach alcohol took effect, and the results have been quite dramatic. Our beaches are no longer a magnet for out-of-control partying. Families with young children are returning, no longer concerned their day at the beach may be ruined by encounters with belligerent drunks. Crimes in the beach areas
O
have decreased 14 percent. Alcohol offenses on the beach decreased significantly, and there were over 50 percent fewer alcohol offenses involving minors. The piles of trash that used to mark the site of drunken parties have disappeared. Senior citizens are able to safely enjoy strolls along the boardwalk. And, this year, lifeguards and other public safety officers have been able to spend more of our time protecting your safety. For example, the response times for emergency calls were a full minute faster this year in the beach areas than they were the previous year. None of these changes should come as a surprise. There is a reason why every major beach city in California, and in most other areas of the nation, long ago banned beach alcohol for precisely the same reasons San Diego did. Nor should it be a surprise that soon after San Diego’s trial ban went into effect, most other area jurisdictions without such restrictions followed suit. No community wants to be the magnet for beach alcohol abuse. It’s been gratifying to hear the comments of beachgoers — both San Diego residents and visitors from other parts of the country — remarking on how clean and safe our beaches have become. It’s no wonder that beach communities like Fort Laud-
erdale, which had reputations for beach alcohol abuse, experienced significant increases in tourism when their beaches became alcohol free. I’ve personally talked to many residents who initially had misgivings about the trial ban. It’s been a San Diego tradition to permit alcohol consumption at the beach, and traditions die hard. But most who expressed misgivings have changed their minds since they’ve seen the results. They have seen a lot of people enjoying themselves on the beach in a safer environment. Some did have concerns of overpolicing of the beach to enforce the ban; but this year, even with the ban in place, alcohol citations were reduced by 17 percent. Every San Diegan has a right to enjoy safe, clean beaches. It would be a mistake to go back to the preLabor Day riot conditions. If San Diego were to become the only jurisdiction in the region that permits alcohol on its beaches, an important part of our community’s heritage will be threatened. A “yes” vote on Proposition D on the Nov. 4 ballot makes the one-year trial ban permanent and ensures that we can keep our beaches safe and clean. — Ken Hewitt is chief of San Diego’s Lifeguard Services Division. ■

Jerry stopped talking on his “Jef and Jer” radio program long enough and Pam stopped thinking she could dance long enough to indulge in their joint passion, love of animals, tossing a fund-raiser for all critters, large and small. The couple opened their home, devoid for the moment of their cat family (except for a bevy of filled water bowls tucked under a counter in the kitchen) and instead featured a display cage with faux chickens near the check-in desk. Also on hand was a fellow who first came to prominence when he starred with a pig — James Cromwell — and most recently with a president, portraying Bush the Elder in the controversial Oliver Stone movie “W.” Given that celebrities draw the big bucks, there were several more, like “Clueless” Alicia Silverstone, graciously posing and signing for autograph hounds. An animal-oriented silent auction was featured, along with champagne and delectable vegan hors d’oeuvres by Waters (who knew they were so good?). The evening was the Cesaks’ way of endorsing Proposition 2, to stop cruelty and inhumane treatment of farm animals destined for slaughter or egg-laying hens.

Two fabulously performed history plays, set 100 years apart BY CHARLENE BALDRIDGE | VILLAGE NEWS
Moxie Theatre’s production of Kathryn Walat’s “Bleeding Kansas”—playing at Diversionary Theatre through Nov. 2 — is a fine piece of theater readers should not miss. Walat takes the issues of the 1855-’56 Kansas Territory—peopled with Abolitionists and pro-slavery factions—and personifies them in two women: Hannah Rose Allen, an avid, schoolmarm Abolitionist (Jennifer Eve Thorn) and Kittson Clarke (Jo Anne Glover), a fierce, fiery settler married to George (David S. Humphrey), a rather laid-back but loving farmer out of his depth. On a homestead near Lawrence, the Clarks and Allen are threatened by southerner pro-slavery factions and especially by the menacing and violent Edwin Redpath (Christopher Buess). Mark Petrich plays pro-slavery neighbor Josiah Nichols. All three men play multiple roles. To Walat’s credit, her fastmoving play does not preach, merely raises questions, among them: Who are we as a nation? What shaped us and why? And does what we were—violent, intractable and destructive—play into our present-day society? “Bleeding Kansas” is an excellent work, intelligently staged by Delicia Turner Sonnenberg, who elicits the best from her exceptional actors. It provides a fascinating, pre-Civil War insight into what shaped our nation and our society, violence, warts and all. The work is especially pertinent now, as we face tough times and

Brawn Gittings’ costumes are specific and practical, especially intriguing as Hannah Rose evolves from proper Eastern Seaboard matron to frontierswoman. Cut from cloth similar to that of Beth Henley’s “Abundance,” the play, the characters and the design elements manage to put the grandeur and horror of the westward migration and settlement into the confines of Diversionary Theatre. We are, it seems, violent, divided and stubborn, just like the women at the end of “Bleeding Kansas,” left to carry on and declare with wonder, “This is America!” “Bleeding Kansas” premiered at the Hangar Theatre in Ithaca, N.Y., two years ago. The playwright is familiar to San Diego audiences because of Moxie’s production of her play “Victoria Martin: Math Team Queen.” She soon will be endeared to younger audiences through her play “Miss Electricity,” La Jolla Playhouse’s 2009 elementary school Pop Tour. “Bleeding Kansas” continues at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at Diversionary Theatre, 4545 Park Blvd., San Diego. For tickets ($25, discounts for seniors, students and military), call (858) 598-7620or visit www.moxietheatre.com. One hundred years later Set in 1964 and playing at a theater complex on the other side of town is S.M. ShephardMassat’s comedy “Waiting to Be
Invited” (presented by the late Dr. Floyd Gaffney’s Common Ground Theatre at the Educational Cultural Complex through Nov. 2 only). The play, which had its premiere at the Denver Center Theater, concerns four black women, churchgoing co-workers at a local doll factory, who decide to put their newly gained civil rights to the test by taking the bus downtown to lunch in a fancy department store’s whitesonly tea room. The work is directed by well-known local actor/director Antonio “TJ” Johnson, who elicits strong characters from a magnificent ensemble that comprises Veronica Henson-Phillips, Ida L. Rhem, Debi Mason and Monique Gaffney, assisted by Anthony D.
Bell and Sally S. Stockton. It’s tight, funny and touching and ends with a projected-slide tribute to Thurgood Marshall, Martin Luther King and other iconic historical figures, ending with the Newsweek cover of Barack Obama, reminders of how very far we’ve come as a nation since “Bleeding Kansas.” “Waiting to Be Invited” continues at 8 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday through Nov. 2 (no Friday performance that weekend) at the Educational Cultural Complex, 4343 Oceanview Blvd., San Diego.

Golfers swing for league supremacy BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS
Several local scholastic girls golf teams are heading for CIF competition as league play winds down. At The Bishop’s School, the Lady Knights scored a big 206208 win over Francis Parker last Thursday afternoon. The victory resulted in both teams finishing with one loss in league play. The two were to square off Wednesday afternoon (Oct. 29) at a neutral location for league honors. In last week’s action, Bishop’s was led by Courtney Hooton (37), Spenser Krut (40), Denell Falk (42), Lexi Bohlmeijer (43), Libby Hooton (44) and Alexa Bisbas (44). Bishop’s has three nationally ranked players (Courtney, Libby
and Spenser) and has beaten its team scoring record several times, with the new low being 197. Elsewhere, La Jolla Country Day School (6-5) recently scored a 309-311 victory over Canyon Crest Academy. Senior Jennifer Coleman was match medalist with a low of 55. Coleman was a co-match medalist in another meet with San Dieguito Academy, while sophomore Jennie Kim shot a 49. In a loss to Santa Fe Christian, Kelsey Alan-Lee (49) and Coleman (47) paced the Lady Torreys. Finally, La Jolla High dropped a 271-300 decision to Coronado High last week. Juliette Garay paced La Jolla with a 44. ■
With league and tournament races winding down, local scholastic cross country teams are gearing up for CIF action in the coming weeks. Before getting there, however, several teams have seen action recently in tourney and league races. At La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) School, the Torreys under head coach Scott Sanders ran recently at the Mt. SAC Invitational. The freshmen boys began the day’s racing, and Jake Mack came up big with a 10th-place finish in 19:02. This helped the boys achieve an eighth-place team finish (of 15 scoring teams). The sophomore boys were next, and Chase Mertz and Sage Hagstrom ran well in what was for both their first experience at Mt. SAC. The girls varsity ran next and finished ninth out of 28 scoring teams in their race. The girls were led by freshmen Sam Staszak (22:49, 39th) and Kaitlin McCallum (22:59, 42nd). Senior Sasha Binderow (60th), and freshmen Maggie Taylor (68th) and Emily Domanico (92nd) rounded out the scoring, while senior Chanelle Herring gamely finished her first and only Mt. SAC race as the team’s sixth runner. The boys varsity was next, in the Division IV Sweepstakes race. Running against some of the state’s best teams, including topranked McFarland and Big Bear, the Torreys were hoping to hold their own and see just where they stood. Senior Alex Poyhonen led
the way with a strong third-place finish in 15:52. Junior Dennis Roth also ran well, finishing 16th in 16:45. Sophomore Lee Klitzner ran a solid 17:13, earning him 31st, while senior Eric Blodgett ran 17:47 (41st) in his first Mt. SAC race. Completing LJCD’s scoring was

According to Sanders, all of these junior and senior boys ran better than expected, led by Miles Himmel (19:20, 25th) and William Craycroft (19:45, 32nd) impressively finishing under 20 minutes. Garrett Schneider (20:11, 43rd), Jake Eliasberg (20:28, 51st) and Armand Harb (20:37, 54th) completed LJCD’s scoring. Elsewhere, La Jolla High’s boys team ran last Friday in the Jaguar Invitational (3.12 miles) at Kit Carson Park. La Jolla’s varsity placed fifth out of 15 teams in the Large School Race. Top performances for the Vikings came via Michael Conroy (third overall, 16:42), Andrew Farkas (16th, 17:28), Bryant Hammershaimb (17:40), Alex Eve (17:53) and Spenser Mays (20:02). On the junior varsity side, La Jolla was fifth out of 13 teams in the Small School Race. La Jolla’s top five runners were James Giammona (13th overall, 20:44), Benny Ghelerter (19:48), Ben Aldrich (21:29), Ben Gammage (21:39) and Daniel Chiu (21:43). “The varsity and junior varsity both ran very well and we are still improving,” La Jolla High head boys coach Hal Goforth commented. ■

The boys ended up in fourth place when all was said and done. “Interestingly, though most of the boys ran better than last year, when they finished third overall, most of them did not feel good about their race and struggled with the course and the dust,” Sanders noted. “I am encouraged that the boys ground out solid times and a respectable team finish under these circumstances.

Dogs run down UC at Homecoming BY BARRY SCHWARTZ | VILLAGE NEWS
Point Loma High School (PLHS) put together a complete game on Friday night under the lights for their Homecoming, dominating University City High School (UCHS) on both sides of the ball in a contest that was never in any question for the Pointer fans. The Dogs took control early, scoring the first 21 points on two Leslie Rogers touchdown runs (20 and 6 yards) and a fumble return by junior defensive end Will McDonough for 11 yards. The Centurions had a huge task trying to catch up. They scored twice in the second quarter, but the Pointers were quick to pay them back after UC quarterback Skyler Dougherty hit wide receiver Willie Meadows on a 25-yard TD pass. “We knew tonight that we could take advantage of what we saw on film,” PLHS head football coach Mike Hastings said. “Our kids wanted to get back to what we have done here at Point Loma — finishing opponents off early, taking it in and getting the win.” In the second quarter, Point Loma really showed its mettle, with junior running back Rogers carrying the ball for two touch-

downs from 63 and 47 yards after University City ran the ball into the end zone to stay in the game. Junior Jordan Sparkman added his own receiving touchdown from 25 yards out. The Pointers have been a young squad this season, but this Homecoming game brought out the best in a few starters, one of whom is a legacy player on the varsity squad. Davis Callejon follows in his brothers’ footsteps, playing both sides of the football. He plays wide receiver behind Marquel Specks and is a defensive back, snagging two interceptions Friday night. “Our corners were struggling the first few games, so I came in to help out and did well,” Callejon said. “I do what I have to do to help
the team out. The first time (interception) I just got lucky but the second one I saw coming in slow motion and stepped in there.” The third quarter was the toughest battle. It looked as if UC might come back, but Rogers capitalized on one of the interceptions by the Pointers to drive in the final stake on an 18-yard run. “We are 146-34 (in scoring) in Homecoming games under the lights the last four years,” Hastings said. “It’s a tribute to the program and the kids that have come through here the past few years. It’s a real shot in the arm for the kids and alums.” The final outcome was not what UCHS had in mind, of course. “We just gave away too many points too early,” UCHS head football coach Noel Looney said. “It’s been tough with so many injuries. We are getting healthy, though, and all of our kids are academically eligible, so we can make a run for it in our league. Our kids are getting better, but they get down early and it’s tough to come back.” This week UCHS will host Hoover High at 3 p.m. while Point Loma will travel to Serra High to play a Halloween contest at 6:30 p.m. ■

Allen, Torreys roll to win; Vikings drop a close one to Serra High BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS
La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) School secured its fifth victory of the season last Friday with a convincing 51-14 win over the visiting Hornets of Calipatria High School. Even though his ailing ankle was still not 100 percent, starting QB Derek Hatfield was back in the lineup after missing last week’s game. Playing the fist half only, Hatfield was a perfect 8-of-8 passing for 114 yards and two TDs. Also playing the first half only, RB Montell Allen was very tough on the Hornets, rushing for 109 yards and 5 TDs on 11 carries. Kees Thompson led all receivers with four catches for 77 yards and one TD. Doug Rogers made 3 catches for 24 yards and one TD, while Connor Gerhart added a catch. Allen led the Torrey defense at linebacker with nine tackles, while Junior Togiaso also had a big night making six tackles, forcing a fumble and recovering two fumbles. Blake Mohseni, Alex Papageorge, Rogers and Anthony Torres also played well on defense. Zack Wolfenzon kicked 7-of-7 PATs on the night. LJCD will travel to Army-Navy this Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. in its next contest. In last week’s junior varsity contest, LJCD topped Calipatria 3226. Elsewhere, La Jolla High dropped a tough 21-17 decision last Friday night at Serra High. The Vikings controlled the game in the first half thanks to three interceptions by Viking defenders. Defensive back Kitt Livingston, and linebackers Henry Nawahini and Thomas Bowman each intercepted Serra quarterback Arthur Stewart to turn back potential scoring opportunities for the Conquistadors. La Jolla got on the scoreboard first as tailback Robbie Beathard contributed 44 yards on the drive, the last two of which resulted in the score (Lee Abelkop PAT).
You have to give Serra credit for coming back on us, but we helped them out. DAVE PONSFORD LJHS COACH
After taking a 10-0 lead in the second quarter on a 27-yard field goal from Abelkop, La Jolla came out of intermission and watched Serra pull to within 10-7 on a 35yard TD pass. Leading 10-7, La Jolla got its final points of the night as running back Victor Rangel had four runs in the drive for 24 yards, and Beathard found the end zone on a 33yard scamper off left tackle. Early in the fourth quarter, the Conquistadors capped a long drive with a 3-yard scoring run by junior
Tyler Bailey to pull within 17-14. After forcing La Jolla to punt late in the game, Serra marched 70 yards for the winning TD as tight end Colton Bradley scored on a 25-yard catch to secure the victory. On the evening, Beathard had 15 carries for 90 yards and two scores for La Jolla, while Rangel carried the ball 10 times for 73 yards. Viking kickers continued to perform at a high level against Serra. Abelkop was perfect on his three kicks for the evening, and also drove his four kickoffs deep into the end zone. So far this season, Abelkop has made 6-of-8 field goals, and has also hit on 15-of-16 points after touchdown. Senior punter Ethan Swerdlow added five punts to his total of 40 this season. His average punt for the evening was 38.6 yards, and for the season his average is at 38.3 yards. “This was a very tough loss for us,” La Jolla High head coach Dave Ponsford remarked. “From a spectator’s perspective, I’m sure
that it was an entertaining game, but we did not play very good football in the fourth quarter in all areas of our game. You have to give Serra credit for coming back
on us, but we helped them out. And that is disappointing.” La Jolla will travel to Mission Bay High this Friday for a 3 p.m. kickoff. ■

City Council OKs Salk expansion BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS
The San Diego City Council unanimously approved the proposed expansion of La Jolla’s Salk Institute during its Oct. 21 council meeting. “The project adds 190,000 square feet to total 476,000,” said Mauricio Minotta, Salk’s director of communications. Polio vaccine developer Jonas Salk established the Salk Institute in the 1960s on land donated by the city; the Louis Kahndesigned buildings were designated historic landmarks in 1991. Recently, University City residents approved Salk’s plan, allowing the research institute to expand seven existing buildings to total 289,818 square feet, sitting on a 26.34-acre site. Community members accepted the institute’s proposal after battling over the expansion, with concerns about possible loss of the view corridor to the ocean between the two original build-

During the July meeting of the University Community Planning Group (UCPG), Salk representative Mark Rowson said the institute’s expansion plan would not meet certain conditions regarding the environmental report.

IN THE NAME OF THE LAW Aguirre, Goldsmith jockey for position in sizzling-hot city attorney horse race BY SEBASTIAN RUIZ | VILLAGE NEWS
The walls of the city attorney’s office are dotted with pictures of John and Robert Kennedy studiously working over legal briefs. And alongside a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, you’ll find a famous Norman Rockwell civil rights-era painting of U.S. marshals escorting a little black girl to school. These images represent the power the law has bestowed on the people. Yet for all the power it represents, the office on floor 16 of a downtown skyscraper is surprisingly easy to access. Maybe that shouldn’t be so surprising given that it’s the city voters — everyday folks — who elect its chief occupant. Two candidates vie for that position, to be decided in the Nov. 4 general election: challenger Jan Goldsmith, a 10-year veteran Superior Court judge and the former mayor of Poway, and incumbent San Diego City Attorney Michael Aguirre. The race is important because whoever wields the city’s legal briefs can influence City Council policy decisions, protect the city’s pocket-

book in the courtroom and act as the City Council’s legal council. The San Diego Community Newspaper Group recently met with both candidates for their views on several topics that, in addition to Muhammad Ali, include: The city attorney’s role Besides their divisions down political party lines, Aguirre, a Democrat, and Goldsmith, a Republican, view the role and responsibility of the city attorney in vastly different ways. “I view the city attorney as serving the broad interests of the public. It’s a public office, and it’s supposed to serve the public interest. And that means everybody,” Aguirre said. Aguirre further accused his opponent of rolling over on pen-
sion reform, a pivotal local topic, to gain the support of some unions. “My opponent, his whole campaign is financed by the upper echelon of special interests that control our city, the developers, the municipal unions, the people that are in the bureaucracy, and he represents the old system and how we got ourselves in trouble … I represent a break with the past, and I represent the basic principle that government is established to serve the people,” Aguirre said. Goldsmith favors a stricter interpretation of the role of the city’s top lawyer. His past experience, he said, lends a sense of authority and establishes his credibility for the job. “I see the role of the city attorney as a law office. We focus and base our work solely on the law, similar to what I do as a judge. We state the law as we see it, not as the mayor may want to see it, or the city council, or what plays well with the press or if we have a political agenda. We don’t have a political agenda. We have an agenda that’s based only on the law,” Goldsmith said. He said he takes issue with SEE LAW, Page B·2
Bryant hurts knee as team tussles with N.C. Bobcats BY ERIC YATES | VILLAGE NEWS
Relax, Lakers fans. He’ll be fine. You can come down off of the ledge now. On Tuesday, Oct. 21, the current Western Conference champs made their annual voyage south to San Diego to play a preseason game at the San Diego Sports Arena. And while they squeaked out a 102-98 win over the hapless Charlotte Bobcats, the big news from the game centered on the right knee of 2008 MVP Kobe Bryant.
In the second quarter, Bryant came down on the foot of teammate Josh Powell, hyperextending his knee. He immediately motioned to the bench to take him out. After trainers took a look at the knee, he went back to the locker room and didn’t return until the second half, when he was in street clothes. All indications are that Bryant, who averaged 28.3 points per game last season, would be ready for the Oct. 28 season opener. “I didn’t ask him about his injury,” Lakers head coach Phil Jackson said following the game. “I thought he (Bryant) got banged in the shin but the trainSEE LAKERS, Page B·6

Aguirre’s use of the office as a “political operation.” Aguirre, he said, politicizes the office, and “as a result the city has been denied a lawyer, and that’s not good. As a result there’s been criminal prosecutions aimed at his opponents to punish people for being political opponents. I think that’s not only bad, I think it’s horrible. The main reason I’m running is to professionalize the office. I think what he’s done is wrong and it’s hurt the city.” City development versus future water provisions Both men agree that the letter of the law requires the city be able to provide water to city residents. There’s a law that says large developments must be able to provide water for people 20 years into the future, Aguirre said. So while average San Diegans may never wake up and turn on the faucet to find only dust motes, the question remains as to who would eventually foot the bill during a time when the city imports a majority of its current water supply. Goldsmith promises to give the city council sound legal advice, while Aguirre said he would write legal opinions and issue public reports outlining steps the city council can take to try to tackle the problem. Whereas Aguirre said he would seek to enforce the law, Goldsmith said he would stay away from attempting to implement policy as city attorney. “There has to be a plan for water. That’s required by state law, and it has to be in the general

plan,” Goldsmith said. “It has to be specific enough to address the needs of the city. And that’s what my advice would be to the city in no uncertain terms. How they go about doing that is up to the city council and the mayor. It’s not the city attorney. When I was mayor of the City of Poway, I was instrumental in pushing for water reclamation and water conservation. But that was a different role that I had.” Aguirre said the city is breaking the law when it comes to providing water supplies. He blames politicians who don’t want to tell the public the truth that eventually “we’re going to have to raise money to get ourselves a secure water supply. “We have not been, in my opinion, complying with that law,” Aguirre said. “We need to have a very effective program to provide the people of San Diego a secure water supply – that’s a charter obligation. And that means we recycle. Whether we recycle ocean water or recycle wastewater, conserve water [to] increase our storage capacity — all those things are things that we’re going to have to do and we’re required to do under the charter, and I’ve been enforcing that.” Council’s OK of the city attorney’s role in suits The city attorney doesn’t need permission to prosecute a criminal case on behalf of the city, but in certain cases that may require litigation or a settlement agreement, such as a breach of contract or conflict of interest case, cooperation between the city council and the city attorney can save the city money, according to Goldsmith. While certain cases do require city council approval and the city

attorney must carry out the city’s litigation, Aguirre maintains that the city attorney’s office should operate independently of city council decisions regarding these matters in order to protect the broader interests of the city. He points to the Sunroad Centrum building fiasco as another example of why city officials shouldn’t be in charge of litigation. According to statements released by the city attorney, Sunroad developers wanted to construct a building in Kearny Mesa that was too tall according to Federal Aviation Administration and California transportation guidelines. Aguirre wanted to stop it. Allegations of political insiders maneuvering to ensure the building became a reality despite the law caused a political dust-up between the mayor and city attorney, with accusations of corruption and political posturing on all sides. “If there’s ever an example of why you don’t want the council in charge of litigation, Sunroad is a perfect example, because there the city attorney brought the action
and did so based upon the law. Had we had to get the OK from the council, I think we might not have gotten the building down,” Aguirre said. “You want the city attorney exercising independent judgment. The city attorney in essence is a trustee of the city that’s charged with the management of the city’s litigation.” But Goldsmith said otherwise when it comes to the relationship between city council and the city attorney. He said that if elected, more cooperation with the city council, especially when it saves the city money by avoiding costly litigation, would benefit the city. Aguirre often sues without taking into consideration “less costly and more effective” alternatives, according to Goldsmith. “Often, [lawsuits and trials don’t] solve the problem, and I’ve seen thousands and thousands of lawsuits as a judge in the last ten years where I thought their clients could have been better served had they just pushed this other button before they decided to follow a lawsuit,”
Dealing with potential for corporate corruption According to published reports, Southeastern Development Corporation (SEDC) officials gave themselves close to $1 million in bonuses over several years. Volleys of conflict of interest accusations led to the resignation of Centre City Development Corporation (CCDC) President Nancy Graham last July. According to Aguirre, “The city’s attorney’s role [in such cases] is to protect the public interest and ferret out wrongdoing and to prosecute it criminally or civilly and to hold people accountable under the law. The city attorney’s job is to vindicate the rights of the public, and the public have an absolute right to the undivided loyalty of its public officials.” According to statements from his office, Aguirre helped provide documents of conflict of interest attributed to Graham, and he advised the organizations to “take new official action” to correct the problem. But while Aguirre advised CCDC to take action toward the recent fallout from the $409 million mixed-use condominium development at Seventh and Market streets downtown, and condemns corruption at every turn, Goldsmith said Aguirre should have been aggressive and stepped in. “The lawyer should have been involved before anything happened to give the city better control,” Goldsmith said. While he doesn’t blame Aguirre for what happened, Goldsmith said appointing a receiver to take control of SEDC would have stopped SEE LAW, Page B·3

any more money from being siphoned to employees in the form of bonuses. The city attorney’s role in forming public policy Aguirre’s open involvement in public policy issues has landed him in the spotlight and in the shadow of criticism. Through his office, he’s tried to get the city to implement water recycling and emergency water conservation procedures. He’s tried to get the city to repair infrastructure, often going head to head with Mayor Jerry Sanders over the best direction for such policies. “I just think those of us that are elected want to help make it a better city,” Aguirre said. “You don’t see me over at council very often … but a lot of times there’s interactions between law and policy. For example … disobeying the law is not a policy choice. A lot of times when people say ‘you’re involved in policy,’ really it’s the opposite; it’s that they’re involved in doing something that’s outside the boundaries [of the law]. The only reason it’s a policy [issue] is because past officials have treated violating the law as if that is a policy choice, and I don’t believe it is.” Goldsmith said he would try to stay out of the policy decision-making process because, as city attorney, he would emphasize his role of ensuring people are held accountable to the law and not mix it up with politicos. “The city attorney ought to be the adult in the room,” Goldsmith said. “That is, you don’t get down into the political sandbox and

throw sand with the council members. You stay away from the politics. The role of the city attorney is to give the legal guidelines, come up with creative options. And once the city council and the mayor decide on policy, as long as they are legal, help to implement those policies. If something slips through and there are crimes committed, the role of the city attorney is to make sure that the people are held accountable. You do not look the other way. I like to say: You are not a lapdog. You are not an attack dog. You are a watchdog.” Efforts to improve the office of the city attorney It’s hard to imagine how one could possibly improve a political position that demands the utmost integrity from an individual and office, but the candidates have ideas. One of the key differences between the two revolves around access to information. Aguirre wants to increase information about city council meetings, while Goldsmith would clam up about ongoing criminal investigations. “Less talk, more action,” Goldsmith said, adding he would avoid the “press conference of the week” practices of the current city attor-

tion. Rowson said the institute decided to grant one environmentally sensitive parcel as a conservation easement. “We’re granting a conservation easement over the South Peninsula,” Rowson said, adding that the institute would probably give that property to an environmental entity. “We’re subdividing the properties for financing purposes, but we always thought the south mesa was environmentally sensitive.” Rowson told UCPG that once Salk granted the conservation easement, no development could occur on the parcel. “The south mesa will be left unbuilt.

Effectiveness would be the hallmark of his office, Goldsmith said. “We do not believe in berating people,” he said. “We believe in Muhammad Ali: Fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee. And that will be our MO. We will not go berate people and yell at people and call people names, but we will be effective, and the people who we are targeting would find out that we mean business.” So as not to jeopardize legal cases or individual reputations, Goldsmith said he would not openly publicize criminal investigations the way Aguirre does. He added that it’s a waste of tax dollars to open investigations publicly and spend time and money on lawsuits only to have them dismissed quietly. “He’s called investigations on half of San Diego,” Goldsmith said of Aguirre. On the other end, Aguirre said he would work to increase public access to information about the city’s public dealings. “When matters come before the city council, there’s no reason for the materials that the council is receiving not to be put online,” Aguirre said. He added he would improve access to information by logging every legal opinion ever issued from the city attorney’s office onto the Internet all the way back to 1931. Aguirre said he would continue to try to create and maintain a diverse group of attorneys dedicated to the public interest. He said the office would run with a focus on one question: “Are we

advancing the broadest interest of our city and the way we’re carrying out our responsibilities?” The biggest problem San Diego must face “There’s a lack of basic integrity,” Aguirre said without hesitation. “There’s a lack of basic competence within the city for a lot of different reasons. The city has lost its focus. We are not focused on serving the public. We are mostly focused on increasing financial benefits for people who work here.” He cited a laundry list of the city’s failures. “We don’t have the water. We don’t have the roads repaired. We don’t have the streets, the alleys, the buildings repaired … We’re behind on our wastewater system. We’re behind on our cleansing system and our water system,” he said. The city has done a very poor job of providing basic services that taxpayers expect, he said. “But at the same time,” he added, “while we’re not doing all those things, we have one of the most massive lucrative pension pyramids that’s ever been built in the history of western civilization that pays people more money to retire than to work. And you have

to wonder, ‘Gee, this seems to suggest, the circumstantial evidence suggests, that the city officials spent more time trying to figure out how to line their pockets than they have in figuring out how to serve the public.’” Aguirre thinks he has the answers. And some may agree. “That’s why the Wall Street Journal weighed in on this and said what I’m doing should be a model for the nation in trying to set aside the $800 million of illegal [pension] benefits, which my opponent has given up on so he can get the support of the powerful unions who have so much to say about the election,” Aguirre said. While Aguirre cites what is wrong with the city as a whole, Goldsmith sees Aguirre as part of those same problems. “The biggest problem facing the city is its fiscal problems. There’s no question about it,” Goldsmith said. “This is a multi-billion-dollar municipal corporation that does not have a lawyer that views the city as its client and doesn’t give advice. “[City officials] are prone to making some very big mistakes without legal advice, and that goes hand in hand.” Aguirre has tried to portray himself as a steward of the community using the law to look out for Joe Taxpayer while painting his opponent as a protector of the Old Guard. Goldsmith has made a commitment to the people of San Diego to put the law, not the law office or its power, first and foremost — a commitment that he may well believe Aguirre has forgotten. So who will it be, Goldsmith or Aguirre? You decide on Nov. 4. ■

Robert Wagner grew up on the screen and has remained a giant star for more than 50 years.

As Cary Grant once said, “I’d like to be Cary Grant, too!” Wagner, or “R.J.” as his friends call him, has broken his silence and written a breezy, entertaining book titled “Pieces of My Heart” (with Scott Eyman) that reveals things the public never knew about him.

through history is that they seem to be a building element that comes and goes. Many old porches, in fact, become enclosed and are added to main living areas. As living styles changed, porches gradually became a design element of the past. People no longer had time to sit upon them like they did in our picture at 1180 Prospect St, circa 1900. Perhaps porches just disappeared because everyone became too busy “living.”

beachgoers. When the cottages were last fully engaged as residences in the 1960s and early ’70s, it was always amazing how many people could pack up on those porches! Another early La Jolla house with a prominent porch in its initial construction in 1904 was Wisteria Cottage, now home to the La Jolla Historical Society at 780 Prospect St. A front porch once spanned the entire front of the house when it was first built. But shortly after it was constructed, Wisteria became the property of Eliza Virginia Scripps. With the help of architect Irving Gill, the front porch was enclosed to add to the interior space when Scripps remodeled the building for use by the St. James Episcopal Church.

LAKERS er said he hyperextended his knee, so we just took him out for the night.” Though secondary to the news surrounding Bryant, the 9,800 in attendance were treated to a great game. Lakers center Andrew Bynum, coming off of his own season-ending knee surgery last year, showed no ill effects, scoring 16 points, pulling down eight rebounds and adding three blocks in 26 minutes. He will be a key cog in the wheel if Los Angeles is to return to the NBA Finals. The game also marked a return to San Diego for two players. The Lakers’ Luke Walton, who starred at University of San Diego High School, chipped in with five points, four rebounds and two assists. On the other side of the ball, the Bobcats’ Jared Dudley played for the first time in front of his hometown crowd since leading Horizon High School to back-to-back CIF state titles in 2002 and 2003. “I thought that after high school, I’d never play here again,” Dudley said. “But being at the Sports Arena, against the Lakers and Kobe … they’re one of the

favorites to win the championship. I also got to play against Luke here. I never got to do that in high school. I’ve got lots of friends and family here; it’s a dream come true.” Dudley was admittedly nervous and didn’t have a great game on the score sheet, scoring only one
point and adding two rebounds and two steals. He did, however, have the play of the game. With two minutes left before halftime, he deflected a pass out to half court, dove on top of the scorers’ table and flipped the ball behind him to teammate Raymond Felton, who tossed up an alley-oop
that Gerald Wallace hammered down with one hand. It sent ooohs and aaaahs throughout the arena. The key for the Lakers on the night was the play of their bench. Guard Jordan Farmar (17 points, 4 assists, 2 steals) and small forward Trevor Ariza (14 points, 4 rebounds, 3 steals) were particularly impressive. “Jordan Farmar was the spark for us tonight,” Jackson said. “His play has been inspiring.” The NBA’s regular season kicked off on Tuesday and the Lakers are still among the teams to beat in the Western Conference. With Bynum now healthy and Pau Gasol in tow for a full season, there’s no reason to think that come June they can’t bring a title back to Tinseltown. ■
